Thesis: Seasons Greetings Cards

Greetings Everyone,

 I have completed my Senior Thesis for Pennsylvania College of Art & Design, and received my BFA in Illustration. I thought I would share the process of the creation and idea of "Seasons Greetings".

The idea came from the Christmas cards one receives, how some of those cards say Seasons Greetings. The cards usually have pretty pictures of winter scenes and people. But there are other seasons other then winter, why dont we send out cards for the spring, summer or fall?
So for my thesis I fixed that problem and created my "Seasons Greetings" line of cards. 

The cards are a combination of different mediums but the final result is a digital. The pieces are embroidered, inked, watercolor paintings and digitally painted with textures.

Limited Addition 11"x14" archival signed prints of the Seasons are still open for purchase
Packages of cards are still open for purchase, in each package is eight cards two sets of each season
